Yes I do : demo.koha-fr.org is hosted by a web hosting company.
The trick is to use .htaccess to define 2 env parameters :

Mine is :

SetEnv PERL5LIB  /data/www/d/e/mo.koha-fr.org/cgi-bin
SetEnv KOHA_CONF /data/www/d/e/mo.koha-fr.org/cgi-bin/etc/koha.conf
Options +Includes
AddHandler server-parsed .htmltml

PERL5LIB is used to point to the C4 directory, that contains Koha 
specific .pm
KOHA_CONF is used by Koha to find /etc/koha.conf

Note that MARC::Record, HTML::Template... can also be put in the 
PERL5LIB directory (that's what I did too)

Of course, with such an installation, installer is useless, and you must 
install with your keyboard & your brain :-)
